Script errors

[pat_t338]

I get continual script errors while online, and keep disabling scripts to make them go away. I am running spysweeper, popup stopper, and as-aware, and everytime I go online, I pick up a ton of spy-ware type items.

Here is the Hijack this log.

Can someone tell me what it is I need to get rid of here to clean up my system?

Thanks for the help. Here is the new log.

I didn't find t?skmgr.exe, but there were two copies of taskmgr.exe. I'm not sure how that was possible, but one was fairly small and had the same date as most of the other files in the system32 directory with a typical MS windows icon. The other was dated 11/16/04 and was almost 400k in size, about the same date that my problems started and had a pretty fancy icon associated with it so I assumed it to be the culprit. Both of the files you wanted deleted were in use and couldn't be deleted so I renamed them and rebooted, then I could delete them.

Fix that entry.

Right click the larger taskmgr.exe file and go to "version". Tell me everything it says inside there. if there is no "version" tab, get rid of it.

[pat_t338]

Too late. I deleted it yesterday. It doesn't seem to affect anything as the system is running fine at this point. I could probably try to recover it with norton if necessary.

Thanks for the help.

pat

[pat_t338]

Quick follow-up. I recovered the file with norton. Right-clicking and checking the version gives me only a checksum and not available under version info.

It has been renamed to keep it from executing and I've saved it to floppy if anybody needs to take a look at it.

Pat

[SpywareShooter]

Are you still having any problems with this?

It doesn't look like it, at least to the same extent that I was before. I'm still getting random popups, but popup stopper seems to be intercepting them. I've been in and out fore the last few days so I haven't spent a whole lot of time on the computer and can't say for sure. At least the script errors have gone away.

Thanks again for the help.
